Job Area Engineering - Test

Location California - San Diego

Job Overview This is a Test Engineer position within QCTs Core Platform and Secure Systems test. In this role the candidate will be working on a team responsible for testing security APIs, and drivers/features for hardware blocks such as USB controller, clock regime, I2C/SPI controller, power management IC (PMIC), and PCIe. The team supports commercialization of drivers, PMIC, clocks, buses, peripherals, services, storage, boot, and security on Qualcomm chip sets through a combination of API/driver testing (white-box) and feature end to end system testing (black-box). The team contributes to testing throughout the life-cycle, including unit, integration, and system level testing. The role involves a good mix of hands on testing of the products and SW development of test cases and automation using a combination of C, Python, and Perl. Candidate will be responsible for development of test plans and automated test cases for new features. Candidate will be testing the products by utilizing the understanding of the following key topics: driver testing, mobile device testing, the interaction of test and development tools with the embedded devices, API testing, and technical knowledge of the Qualcomm solution. At a minimum, a basic understanding of system-on-chip technologies will assure the success of the candidate. Additionally, the candidate will be interacting with various project teams.

Engineers will be responsible for developing SW test drivers and/or test automation which may include some of the following responsibilities:

Test development, troubleshooting and problem resolution on embedded Android, modem, IOT, and automotive platforms Test application design, coding and test development for system-on-chip products Test the interactions between drivers and with CDMA/UMTS Modem and Multimedia applications Profile and optimize CPU usage, performance and power consumption of the various SW drivers Interact in a team environment with developers, system engineers and testers Work closely with systems, software teams and test teams to develop test/test apps at both API level and system level for specific drivers, multimedia technologies like advanced video, camera, audio, augmented reality and graphics, operating system and system level features like thermal mitigation, mobile power optimization, and content protection " id="hdnJobOverview" />This is a Test Engineer position within QCTs Core Platform and Secure Systems test.
